Dyche: Burnley board rewarded for decision to stand by me

Defoe, 34, has scored 14 of Sunderland's 26 goals in the Premier League this season and boss David Moyes has confirmed the England global has an escape clause in his contract, with West Brom considering a move.

"Other teams have more money than us but we just focus on ourselves". Nowhere near everyone else.

Burnley were without the influential centre-back partnership of Ben Mee and Michael Keane for their match with West Brom, but Dyche was delighted with the performances of Kevin Long and James Tarkowski in their stead. It's the way this club has to work.

"But it was a penalty, I've seen it back, Barnesy gets tripped and gets his shirt pulled".

But Salomon Rondon's first goal in 19 games - and West Brom's first in six matches - levelled matters and Craig Dawson, on his 27th birthday, headed the Baggies in front from a corner 12 minutes from time.

Sean Dyche's side are already a subject of interest to Irish audiences having added two of Martin O'Neill's most important players to their ranks over the course of the last two transfer windows, spending a combined £25m on Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady.

Now West Brom boss Tony Pulis has admitted that the Baggies are interested in bringing Taylor to the Hawthorns, although they are wary that it won't be a straightforward affair.
